Weight Loss Support Packets

These packets are designed to assist the body in using fat for fuel and to help support healthy insulin, cortisol and energy levels. They are a great boost for any weight loss program.
Each packet contains:

Caution: This product contains Naringin, which is a flavonoid found in grapefruit. Grapefruit affects the activities of many drugs, with potentially serious effects. Interactions with various drugs (prescription or over-the-counter) can occur when using any part or form of grapefruit, including grapefruit juice or peel. Patients taking prescription drugs who are considering using a product that contains grapefruit (or a product that contains naringin) are encouraged to talk with their healthcare providers or pharmacists. A number of drugs that are known to be affected by the naringin in grapefruit include calcium channel blockers, estrogen, sedatives, medications for high blood pressure, allergies, AIDS, and cholesterol-lowering drugs.

EndoTrim is a comprehensive endocrine balancing formula designed to promote optimal insulin, leptin and cortisol balance. This formula is for anyone wishing to improve body composition.

Decrease body fat

Increase lean muscle

Balance cortisol

Glucose and insulin control

Optimize metabolism

Increase energy

Decrease food cravings

Decrease anxiety

EndoTrim contains the non-stimulating American ginseng for costisol balance. Banaba, chromium and vanadium are included to enhance glucose control and insulin performance. ForsLean (Coleus forskohli), Garcinia cambogia, and green tea extract promote lean body mass through ergogenic activity. Activated B vitamins, magnesium and L-carnitine provide nutrients for optimal mitochondrial function and metabolism. N-acetyl-tyrosine supports thyroid function and proper catecholamine balance. The addition of GABA, along with magnesium, provides an element of craving control to this unique product. These nutrients also help keep us calm when stressed.

Carnitine Synergy by Designs For Health

Fuels the mitrochondria for fat burning. Without Carnitine fats cannot be burned for energy. Without energy, cells become weak or die. Because of this, optimizing Carnitine levels has been found to have dramatic benefits for low energy, obesity, chronic fatigue, immune deficiency conditions, and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Controlled trials have demonstrated that Carnitine increases weight loss by promoting optimal fat burning by the mitochondria. Carnitine also helps promote heart health, cholesterol lowering, sports endurance, and helps relieve chronic fatigue. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is also contained in Carnitine Synergy and has unique brain health enhancing properties. Carnitine Synergy is the only product of its kind combining both of these valuable forms of Carnitine into one capsule.

Benefits of Carnitine Synergy:

Increases Fat Burning

Increases Energy Levels

Lowers Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Promotes Heart Health

Helps Produce More Energy to Exercise and Increases Exercise Endurance and Performance

Reduces Food Cravings

Promotes Healthy Circulation

Promotes Liver Health

Counters the Side Effects of Medications such as Valproate, Adriamycin, and AZT

Enhances Brain Function

Quickly Improves mental Focus and Energy

Enhances Short- and Long-Term Memory

Thermo-EFx™ is designed to support healthy weight loss by helping to increase the body’s metabolic rate safely without causing any stimulant-associated side effects often seen with other weight reduction formulas.

Highlights:

Advantra Z® is a bitter orange extract (Citrus aurantium L.) which has been shown to increase thermogenesis and basal metabolic rate (BMR).1 It contains a family of adrenergic amines, agents that mimic the actions of the sympathetic nervous system – acting like the neurotransmitter epinephrine (adrenaline) – but differ in their effects (no stimulant- type side effects). These amines help to stimulate metabolic processes while increasing lipolysis, the breakdown of fat. They also help to increase lean muscle mass by encouraging the uptake of amino acids into muscle tissue, and may have mild appetite-suppressant effects.1,2

Advantra Z® is the only bitter orange extract standardized and purified to contain primarily naturally occurring p-synephrine while having negligible amounts of m-synephrine. Unlike p-synephrine, m-synephrine is undesirable because it increases blood pressure and heart rate by acting on beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors.3 Thus, p-synephrine is an analog of adrenaline but does not have the side effects associated with adrenaline. It does not act on beta-1 and beta-2, but rather on the beta-3 adrenergic receptors that induce lipolysis and result in reduced food intake and improved insulin sensitivity, glycemic control and lipid profiles.3 Many products on the market contain synthetic m-synephrine and often do not specify what kind of synephrine they contain. Certain types of bitter orange do not control the levels of m-synephrine.

• None of the typical side effects of stimulants: will not cause anxiety or insomnia or increase heart rate or blood pressure3

Naringin (Citrus grandis osbeck) and hesperidin are antioxidant- rich bioflavonoids found in grapefruit and many other citrus fruits. Research shows that, when combined, these two bioflavonoids increased the thermogenic effects of p-synephrine (contained in Advantra Z®). Together, naringin and hesperidin work to enhance the expression of adiponectin, the protein hormone secreted by adipocytes (fat cells) which helps to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism.4,5

Green Tea Extract (decaffeinated and standardized to 45% EGCg [epigallocatechin gallate]). EGCg has been shown to stimulate thermogenesis by enhancing basal metabolic rate. It works by inhibiting catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT), an enzyme that metabolizes norepinephrine. Thus, it extends the half life of adrenaline and p-synephrine, which stimulate the fat release from fat cells.6,7 Green tea also helps to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose absorption.8

The green tea extract in Thermo-EFx™ is decaffeinated, which makes this formula suitable for individuals with sensitivity to caffeine. However, those who consume caffeine regularly can do so based on their particular health status, personal tolerance and advice from their health care practitioner. The addition of caffeine to green tea was shown in studies to increase thermogenesis and metabolic rate more than green tea alone.6

• Caffeine can be added to this regimen from coffee or other sources as discussed above. Green tea (caffeinated or not) can also be consumed when taking this formula to further enhance thermogenesis based on individual tolerance.6

I take this product for all the amino acids in it. I feel better and perhaps it keeps the weight off too

Lost 12 pounds last year with increased exercise, reduced calories, and these packets. Results better than seen since age 40 - better fat loss, improved muscle tone. Long story - am now working to get weight back off. Began weight-loss routine with no packets; only moderate change. Started packets; already notice increased energy and hunger. Energy is great and view hunger as positive sign metabolism has picked up. Definitely like these packets and trust DFH more than anything over the counter.

Didn't seem to make any difference

Nutritionist Response: While these supplements may support a healthy way to optimize your metabolism and endocrine balance, they do not replace additional efforts need to promote weight loss, such as eating a healthy diet with slight caloric restriction and daily physical activity to support metabolism. Also, when taking these longer than one month, you should see better results than taking them for only one month. Julie Haugen, MS, RD, LN
